https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/28/harsh-new-anti-trump-ad-shows-how-never-trumpers-view-race/For a certain type of Extremely Online critic, one of the big mistakes Democrats made against Donald Trump in 2016 was to waste time attacking his indecency and viciousness.

The Never Trumpers at the Lincoln Project, whose self-assigned task is to move those same GOP voters away from Trump, just launched a very harsh new ad that trades on these themes.
